We all remember Fred Hobbs, the proud member of Tennessee’s Democratic Executive Committee who recently confessed that he thought Barack Obama was “terrorist-connected.” He has been apologizing all week, and in a letter to colleagues he explained what was running through his mind: his comments “did reflect questions I had after what I had seen reported on Fox News, but I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I saw on television before speaking publicly.” Fred added that he also doesn’t know how to drink water or walk without falling sideways, or whatever it is the human beings are doing these days.

So that’s John McCain on the left, you knew that, but who is that “elderly American woman” wearing the sunglasses indoors while posing for a photo? That’s Harriet Christian, the famous Hillary Clinton diehard who threw a fit at the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee over its perceived bias towards the Democrats’ “inadequate black male” of a nominee, which landed her a Fox News appearance during which she said black people don’t even know why they voted for Obama. And now she will protest-vote for John McCain, who hosted a party for bitter Hilltards like Christian at his campaign headquarters over the weekend. They may look like a happy pair now, but soon enough she’ll be making wisecracks about his withering hair, and he’ll respond with a wisecrack of his own. [Via Kevin K. at Rumproast]

Passionate Clinton promoter Lanny Davis is an endearing toady who wears comical pin-striped suits and says things like “Hillary can still win” while everybody else on the teevee panel laughs and laughs. And now he will bring his wonderful brand of aggrieved DLC hackery to Fox News, where he will get to spend the rest of his days blaming the network’s continuing bedbug problems on Barack Obama and Florida’s half-seated delegation.

Here it is, the terrible bit of “word play” that has offended everybody with its obvious lack of racial transcendence. A “baby mama” is the term for a lady who has mothered some or all of a gentleman’s illegitimate children, and clearly does not apply to Michelle Obama. Now please quit sending us this thing. [Salon]

Here is old former president George (H.W.) Bush Senior, enjoying a gay game of Yale Tennis with this young thing (Communist Soviet sex spy Anna Kournikova) who is also not his scary old crone wife. They are giving each other a sexy Terrorist Fist Jab, like all the Bushes do with all their girlfriends and boyfriends. Oh and that dipshit lady at Fox News got fired, haw haw.

FOX NEWS DISCOVERS ‘TERRORIST FIST JAB’: Yes they can! Our favorite teevee news says Michelle and Barack Obama’s cool move with the Respect Knuckles is actually a secret Muslim fisting ritual for Terror. Jesus fucking christ these Fox News people need to die, of terror fisting AIDS, because they’re not even funny anymore. [Gawker]

Here is nutball Harriet Christian, the “older white woman” and New Yorker famous for ranting on the Internet about how the DNC is giving its nomination to an “inadequate black man.” She tells Fox News icon Neil Cavuto that Obama’s victory is illegitimate because “99% of the blacks don’t even know why they’re voting for him.” Touché!

For those of you who are rich and elitist and can afford HBO, you may have seen the much-hyped film Recount over Memorial Day weekend, which chronicled Al Gore’s efforts to hijack the country during the 2000 election in disenfranchised Florida. The movie was terrible and hilarious, although Laura Dern’s portrayal of then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine “Kitty” Harris deserves at least 19 Oscars and maybe even a Golden Globe. Anyway, Kitty went on Fox News last night to complain about the writers of the film “making up dialogue,” a serious cinematic violation of ethics. Kitty’s attorney appeared by her side on the show to make sure she didn’t screw up, such is her wont. [YouTube, St. Petersburg Times]
